What point on the line y=9x+8 is closest to the origin

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
3 0

to find the point, find the location

realize that the shortest line that crosses through the origin and y=9x+8 is perpendicular to y=9x+8

perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

y=9x+8 has a slope of 9

9*m=-1, m=-1/9

the slope of the mystery line is -1/9

since it passes through the origin, the y intercept is 0

y=(-1/9)x is the equation of the line from the point to the origin

find the intersection of this line and the original line

set them equal to each other

(-1/9)x=9x+8

multily both sides by 9

-x=81x+72

minus 81 both sides

-82x=72

divide both sides by -82

x=-36/41

find y

y=(-1/9)x

y=(-1/9)(-36/41)

y=4/41

the point is (\frac{-36}{41},\frac{4}{41})

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

14x + 18 + x = -112(x + 36) + 13

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute -112:                         14x + 18 + x = -112x - 4032 + 13
  2. Combine like terms:                15x + 18 = -112x - 4019
  3. Add 112x on both sides;          127x + 18 = -4019
  4. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                          127x = -4037
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                   x = -4037/127
